Lidl digital astronomical imaging was created by cobyrne

A picture of the moon
taken with the Lidl refractor telescope and the digital eyepiece that came with the Lidl microscope!

Now, if only I had one of the Lidl computers I could have taken the first-ever Lidl digital astronomical image!

God Bless Lidl! :)

Very nice! The crater Copernicus comes up very well. Is the slight focus issue to do with the camera or the scope?

It was quite difficult to focus. Clouds kept rolling by, and every time that happened, the automatic gain on the eyepiece cranked itself up. Then, when the clouds went away and conditions were right for focussing, the picture was washed out (until the automatic gain went down again). And, the general setup just wasn't conducive to good pictures (laptop on the ground, shake in the scope while focussing, wee delay between doing something at the scope and it showing on the display etc etc).
